“Will the circle be unbroken”: Stefan Saffer was born in the mid-sixties in then Western Germany in a small town in Northern Bavaria near the former frontier to then GDR. First getting in contact with music when he “borrowed” the Beatles “White Album” from his father at the age of 10. First touched a guitar with 13, first song written one year later! At the age of 16 he started to work as a contemporary Folk-Singer in clubs, bars and streets of his hometown area. After moving to Bamberg in 86 he soon was electrified by garage punk and hardcore. From 88 ’til 92 he was leadsinger/guitarman in the STRANDED JAYWALKS, one of the best south-german Garage-Rock-Bands in the 80ties! After they split, Stefan was moving to Berlin for the next five years, where he only worked as a solo-artist in the folk-field again. In 97 he settled down in Leipzig, where he formed the original SAFFER.BAND in 98. They were followed by SAFFER & THE COURTMEN in 2001. With both bands, Saffer played an honestly, energy-driven, emotionally moving Rock’n'Roll with bits and touches of 60ties Soul, C&W and Folk. Also 2001 saw the release of SAFFER’s first Solo-Album “The dark frontier”, a folk-noire-masterpiece, compared by some critics as “Germany’s Nebraska”. In 2006 he went on his first solo-tour for years and returned to a more folk-orientated style. 2007 saw the birth of his new backing band THE JUKES, while in 2008 he shared stage for the first time with new musical partner LAURA BEAN from Kentucky. So, the man stays busy and on the road, watch out for him all over the land, wether with the Jukes, with Laura or solo with his new programm “From rebellion to redemption and then back!” Americana, Folk, Country, Bluegrass, Blues – with Stefan Saffer you get original music at it’s best!!!
